Thanks guys.. well; I'll try and dig out my leak-down kit from my moving truck and test it... I'd hate to damage the cylinders if I tweaked the rings... I just never really thought in a 911 engine this would be a problem.. figured the rings would be bathed in oil and startup would be no issue.. Ive stored BMW's and used WD40 on them but just didnt think it would be an issue here..
Well she should be here friday along with my 69' which smokes badly as well but that one I think needs valve guides.. but with the posts here I am tempted to drive that one for a bit and see if the smoke subsides... It runs GREAT and has lots of power for a 2.2 but smokes really bad on decel.
Another question... the 76' has mobil one in it.. is synthetic less susceptible to acidic buildup as opposed to conventional petroleum based oil?
